There’s something about a really good Telecaster that just feels right the second you pick it up—and this one takes that feeling a step further. This Fender American Standard Telecaster pairs classic Black-on-maple looks with some extremely smart upgrades that elevate it beyond a stock example. An all American body with a Fender Cabronita Mex neck.
The body is in fantastic shape, clean and well cared for, with a deep glossy black finish that still looks sharp and timeless. Paired with the maple fretboard, it’s the definition of a no-nonsense, all-business Tele—simple, bold, and iconic.
What really sets this guitar apart is the Fender Cabronita neck, which brings the highly sought-after 9.5” radius into the mix. It’s a night-and-day improvement in feel—modern, comfortable, and fast without losing that unmistakable Fender snap. Bends are effortless, chords feel natural, and the neck just disappears in your hand.
Electronics have been thoughtfully upgraded as well. The Texas Tele bridge pickup delivers everything you want from a Tele: punchy lows, articulate mids, and that biting twang on top that cuts through a mix without ever sounding thin. It’s dynamic, expressive, and absolutely alive under your fingers. Fender locking tuners round things out, keeping tuning rock solid and making string changes quick and painless.
This guitar has been properly setup and honestly plays better than most Teles I’ve had through my hands—responsive, resonant, and inspiring whether you’re playing clean, edge-of-breakup, or pushing an amp hard.
Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and insured.
